See the world through Love's eyes

بفترة الإنتخابات والإنهيار والفراغ والأجوبة والدعايات، كرمالي، منيح إني إتذكّر إنو:

أنا مش مكنة
مش مكنة بتحكي سياسة
مش مكنة جنسية بتهيّج وبتتهيّج بالناس
مش مكنة دينية بتحكي بأمور منزلة متل ما هي بدون أي إختبار
أنا مش مكنة بتنتج عمل وسهر ومزحات وطق حنك وأعمال ووعظات
أنا مش مكنة بتستهلك بشر وأكل وشرب وطبيعة وعلاقات

أنا مش صوت
مش صوت لولا شي أنا ما بدي إياه
مش صوت حصراً لولا شي أنا بدي إياه
مش صوت لواحد نازل عالإنتخابات يعمل عنتر

أنا مش رقم
أنا مش بالكمشة مع المجتمع
أنا مش بالكمشة مع اللي رح صوّتله
أنا مش رقم بيطلع وبينزل بعدد شي زاروب بيعوزوني وقت الإنتخابات
أنا مش بالكمشة بشغلي
أنا مش بالكمشة بإيماني

أنا مش شو بعمل
اللي بعمله ما بيحدّني، لو قد ما بحبّه

أنا صديق
صديق لنفسي، لله، للكون، وللآخرين

أنا شخص، إنسان، عندو قلب وقيم وأفكار وحرية ورغبات وطلعات ونزلات

بفترة الإنتخابات، ببقى أنا، وبعمل خياري بدعم مشروع بحسب أنا مين

Fact check:
"My limit is the sky".

True, since I have in me what is present in "the sky".
But even the sky is not the limit.

Growing in love

God's voice in prayer is that voice that when it looks at you says: "This is me taking place in flesh", as the voice of the Father to Jesus during his baptism, not an "external" voice that is in contradiction with you and your experience and is requesting you to become or do something you don't want and causes you OCD.
Cause we are, the body of Christ, actually.
صوت الله في الصلاة هو ذلك الصوت الذي عندما ينظر إليك يقول: "هذا أنا أحضر في الجسد"، كما صوت الآب ليسوع في وقت عماده، وليس صوتًا "خارجيًا" يتناقض معك ومع خبرتك ويطلب منك أن تصبح أو تفعل شيئًا لا تريد ويسبب لك وسواس قهري.
لأننا، فعليّاً، جسد المسيح.

It might has been a very silent night like his presence in every humble, ordinary, "silly" things is too silent.

12/12/2021

How would you respond "Yes, Lord I love you" if you're not sure that he truly loves you before?
May we receive God's love before we answer the question: "do you love me", for we might answer an incomplete answer, to another question different than true love, of another god who is not truly loving.

05/12/2021

It is too much for the god of religion not to ask you to be or do anything, and not to oppress anything in you
But it's not for the God of love

03/12/2021

Nothing but love really makes sense to our hearts when speaking about deity.

27/11/2021

Only a god that loves you way more than your your society does, is a god to whom you can open your heart and trust to the end.

Don't let your intimacy in this God experience make it "secret". You won't know it is God unless it is universal somehow, as love is.

Don't let it be a "social God" or a tribal God. He is both personal universal.

قلوب مثقلة بالجراح كقلوبنا لن تفتح قلبها لإله او انسان يحب اشياء منها. وحده إلها يفهم كل الانسان ويقبل كل ما فيه هو الذي ستعطيه كل قلبها. #حب #الله #انسان

عادة نربط الفرح بالتخلي والطهارة عن الماديات
انما نجد اننا نفقد السعادة حتى في التخلي احيانا
ذلك ان السعادة مصدرها الحب لا شيء آخر من فكر غنوصي
اي كيفية عيش الفقر والغنى والتخلي
#الحب #الطهارة #غنوصية

There is something more important than my thoughts, my biases, my likeness.
These all shall leed and serve my self.

13/11/2021

It seems like you can be anything "great" but untrue to yourself
And you can be anything "ordinary" but true to yourself

12/11/2021

صحيح الإنسان ما بياخد معه شي
بالأحرى، الإنسان بيعطي كل شي اخذه بس يموت
وهيدا بحد ذاته معنى الحياة، انو الإنسان يعطي لحد ما يعطي حاله
هون بتلاقي قيمتها الحياة، بانها بتنعمل تتنعطى، وتتكمّل بفعل الحب
Life is not about us, rather we are about life.

Our worth comes from our beings themselves. We are good, loved, important, loveable by definition. No status, performance, religious tradition, spirituality, fame, knowledge, image, social role, beauty... can give us worth. In fact, when we open to our intrinsic worth, these issues come along, BECAUSE we are worthy.

02/11/2021

Yes. Your own way exists. It's not an "already designed" path, it's a free journey to discover, embrace and grow your own self on the way to God-self.
There is a third way - if you like to call it so - and you walk it with the divine.

A God-Human's birth is good news that it is good to be human.
A God-Human's death is good news that you can be human again.

If you decided to follow someone who fought his religious authorities, his society traditions, his society beliefs and divine thoughts in clearly a persistent way for the sake of love, don't expect to be asked to be gentle with everything in you and around you that might confront love.
It's the most beautiful, risky and scary journey of them all.

ما هو مقدّس و"ما بيغلّط" ليست الصنميات والمقامات التي نصنعها، بل آلام الإنسان التي تحمل كل الحب. #لبنان

When you don't have wide eyes, God would seem smaller than even a country to you.

24/10/2021

Sometimes you need people who share the same questions with you more than people who claim that they will give you answers.

23/10/2021

If you feel extremes and sides are pulling you, there is a solution: get back to your heart, and be. Even if you agree with one side, it would be you and not the side. May it always be like this.

23/10/2021

We might miss life if we constantly talk and think about it.
It's already there. We're not spectators.

10/10/2021

May I be my truest self and not any extreme or someone different, for my truest self holds the whole world in love.

10/10/2021

When issues seem to be dual, unsatisfying the whole, demanding that some aspect must be depleted, love must exist; it's creative enough to embed both and give life.

09/10/2021

Our tragedies, if on the way of healing, can be our way to connect and live in communion. They also might be an opportunity for us to block each other from growing up.
As Richard Rohr puts it: "If you don't transform your pain you most assuredly will transmit it."

09/10/2021

We live our greatest missions in our daily life, by just living our own way, without any "have to"s. For our own way holds the healing and love we have received and we seek. This is what changes the world.

07/10/2021

True love and missions cannot come from outside the true self.
We start by self love, letting ourselves be, then we move to group love, loving the people who are like us, then we go to universal love, loving all creatures finding the unseen connection and interdependence.
No rules or excessive thinking issues can define one's true experience and journey.

05/10/2021

No "divinity" can come out of but your true self
The truer you are, the more divine you are
The divine will be the one living in you when you are the truest

03/10/2021

A moment of self-giving love is a "forever yours" moment.
It is an eternal moment that gave you life.
It's your guarantee that you will never go back to the death you were at before it.

25/09/2021

The love we believe in
Is inclusive
Higher than all boundaries
Dwells in everything
Is the base of discernment
Is the way of life

21/09/2021

Only love, that calls you to being, gives you life.
Be.

We join Salt of the Sound in making our trust in God's ways, during this time of anxiety and uncertainty. We ask the lord to use us as instruments of peace and of the kingdom in all what we do, and we lay ourselves in his hands to guide us and the world through us to deeper stillness.

"And after all, I lay me down
My broken pieces at the mercy of your hand

And still my soul waits for you
Longing, hoping just to go deeper still
When your ways are higher"

رح نشوف بعيون الحب!
بقلب لبنان!
مش شوية ايجابية ولا تخدير!
نحن مسؤولين عن حالنا وعن بعضنا، وأول المسؤولية انو نعيش روحانيتنا بقلب اللي عم نعيشو بطريقة سليمة!
نحن بانهيار، مش نكتة
ورح نعيشو بحسب روح الحياة اللي فينا
اللي بيقاوم الموت والخضوع والذل والكذب
الحياة ما ماتت، وهيي فينا

كل حدا منو عندو مسؤولية
سياسية، روحية، مادية، اجتماعية...

نحن حاضرين بقلب الحب، وعلينا نكون فاعلين ونكون مسؤولين عكل الاصعدة!

We share a hymn about the divine large, vast, inclusive goodness in everything, by Gregory Nazianzen, a mystic of the fourth century and considered a saint and father of the Church. Do you relate to anything that is been said?

"O all-transcendent God what other name describes Thee?

What words can sing Thy praises?

No word at all denotes Thee. What mind can probe Thy secret?

No mind at all can grasp Thee. Alone beyond the power of speech, all men can speak of springs from Thee. Alone beyond the power of thought, all men can think of stems from Thee.

All things proclaim Thee - things that can speak, things that cannot. All things revere Thee - things that have reason, things that have none. The whole world's longing and pain mingle about Thee.

All things breathe Thee a prayer, a silent hymn of Thy own composing. All that exists Thee uphold, all things in concert move to Thy orders.

Thou art the end of all that is, Thou art one, Thou art all; Thou art none of the things that are, Thou art not a part and not the whole.

All names are at Thy disposal; how shall I name Thee, the only unnamable? What mind's affinities with heaven can pierce the veils above the clouds?

Mercy, all-transcendent God, what other name describes Thee?"
